What do you pack when you run? What can you use to fight evil? Art and music and songs! In 1920s Germany, creativity flourished in the wild artistic world of Berlin while Hitler called artists incompetents, cheats and madmen. Artists fled, carried their culture with them and kept fighting. Bremner sings hope and rebellion, proving art wins against evil.

Seamless blend of gripping entertainment and genuinely moving art. - Edinburgh Review
A baritone with operatic scope: instead of interludes, the songs become weapons - SEE Magazine

Bremner sings How to Pack A Revolution In Your Suitcase

Big Empty Barn Productions—CCFM Salle Pauline-Boutal

This is a historical musical journey through the songs created during the Wiemar Republic in Germany from the late 1920s through its eventual fall due to the rise of the Nazi party. Bremner’s smooth baritone sings the songs from a period of artistic and personal freedom created in part by the artists that fought for it. Songs by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht feature prominently, with a bit of story telling in between that uses a bull horn to deliver quotes from various leaders of the art movement of the time.

He juxtaposes the rise of Fascism 100 years ago to our current environment that is eerily similar. It can be perhaps a bit dour at times, but he provides a little gleam of hope with his last two songs, and notes that the Fascists could not kill the art as it managed to escape and still survives today.
